On a slightly different note, I usually don't care to go into depth when reading legal opinions as I find them dry and overly verbose (I already have plenty of that when reading computer texts), so I usually skip to the conclusion or executive summary.
But this scholarly paper was actually a good read.

In it, the author, Andrew J. McClurg tackles the myths and fallacies on both sides of the debate.
For anyone interested in an honest attempt at digging into the issues that keep both sides of the gun debate issue appart, I recommend it.
